"Bah! How can these two bastards be so arrogant! We took down the position, but his tail is still raised to the sky." Hong Mu cursed unconvinced, and Zhang and He spat fiercely as they walked away.
"Didn't this kid get a lesson from the leader last time? He's angry and has nowhere to vent his anger."
The bearded Fan Xiangwu complained indignantly that he was someone who knew that the people in Master Yu basically had this kind of virtue, especially the group of student soldiers.
"I'm talking about Lao Fan, tell me how the regiment leader taught him a lesson last time."
The last time I went to Yu Division for a meeting, I was not qualified to go because I was only a company commander. As the deputy battalion commander, Fan Xiangwu went with him, and he witnessed the whole process of the regiment's great power.
"Okay, don't talk nonsense here.
. "Chen Jize impatiently interrupted Hong Mu who was chattering, and ordered in a deep voice: "Go down and arrange the troops. The regimental commander's order should be coming soon. "
…
Sure enough, the first main regiment of the Yu Division completed the crossing within 20 minutes. The Japanese army only fired a few cannons on the river and stopped making any reaction. The Japanese also know that it is no longer realistic to prevent the Chinese from crossing the river. It is better to huddle in the position and wait for them to attack.
Zhang Lixian, who was highly motivated, immediately gathered his troops and prepared to launch an attack on the Japanese secondary defense. Just when he was about to send out a battalion to take the lead, he received an order from Yu Xiaoqing.
"What!? You want us to follow the battalion commander's arrangements? Why!"
He Shuguang asked loudly and exaggeratedly when he received the order telegram.
Lai Hong, the former deputy commander of the first regiment who led the first regiment across the river, was very helpless. How did I know this was the order from the division?
"Contact the master immediately and I will confirm it myself!"
Zhang Lixian also had a look of disbelief, but when the walkie-talkie came through, Yu Xiaoqing's words instantly turned his face pale.
"I know what you want to say, but this is the order. Follow the Sichuan Army's command with all your strength, and don't act on your own initiative! Now even I have to listen to Liao Mingyu's arrangements. If you are angry, you have to hold it in for me!"
Yu Xiaoqing scolded sternly on the other end of the walkie-talkie.
"Yes, I know Master."
Who would have thought that a slap in the face would come so quickly? Zhang Lixian had no choice but to obey. With this order and full of complaints, he reluctantly led people to Chen Jize's side again.
"Hey, Commander Zhang, why are you back again?" Hong Mu, who had also received the order, asked knowingly, with a playful smile that really seemed a bit asking for punishment.
Even though he was extremely reluctant, Zhang Lixian did not dare to disobey Yu Xiaoqing's order. He bit the bullet and said to himself: "It is the duty of a soldier to obey orders. Since the master has given orders, I have no choice but to obey."
嘁～
Hong Mu sneered and wanted to continue mocking, but was stopped by Chen Jize: "I have received the order. We are all for the same purpose, so don't worry about it."
Chen Jize showed the qualities that a professional soldier should have and said calmly to everyone present: "The bombing from the allies will arrive in half an hour, and the artillery bombardment from the rear will also be carried out at the same time. We need to use this fire cover Attack Banshanshi."
"After all, we still have to attack," He Shuguang said disapprovingly. Just now I was saying not to advance rashly, but now the order has come down and my face has changed.
"An offense is an offense, but the details are different. Don't interrupt and listen to me."
Chen Jize glanced at him coldly and continued:
"After the troops go up, they will extend the defensive position forward based on the rocks in the middle of the mountain. At the same time, they will use flamethrowers to clean the tunnel bunkers. Especially the traffic roads, we will send small troops into them to make the illusion of attacking from the tunnels inward, forcing The Japanese were at war with us.”
As a node connecting the first defense and the second defense, Banshanshi is also a place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack. This place is full of rugged rocks, and huge boulder walls several meters or even ten meters high can be seen everywhere.
Because there are boulders blocking the area of fire, the direct-aimed cannon of the secondary defense cannot penetrate here, so it provides great convenience to both offensive and defensive personnel.
But the starting point of the Japanese military traffic road and various small tunnels is also here. It was here that Long Wenwen blasted through the stone wall and entered the tunnel.
The Japanese army used the cover of rocks to bury countless tunnels and bunkers here, hoping that after the ignorant Chinese people attacked the hillside, they would suddenly appear behind them through the traffic roads to achieve counter-encirclement.
Therefore, Liao Mingyu decided to let the troops occupy the mountain rock, pull out the bunkers and destroy the corridors, and at the same time pretend to attack from the permanent traffic roads, giving Takeuchi the illusion that they were going to attack from the tunnels, forcing the Japanese troops huddled in the position to attack them Attack.
Takeuchi's biggest reliance is these large and small mouse holes. Liao Mingyu's behavior is like cutting off his roots. This makes Takeuchi calm and will definitely try every means to obstruct him.
Only in this way can we attract the attention of the Japanese army as much as possible, let them invest more troops on the frontal defense line, reduce the pressure on Long Wenwen's side, and at the same time, we can do a good job in defense and use firepower to kill more effective forces.
"Then aren't we going to have a positional defense battle with the Japanese? What will happen to the people on the top of the mountain if we have a tug-of-war with them? And if we continue to fight like this, when will we be able to capture Nantianmen?"
Zhang Lixian expressed his confusion, and others also showed the same puzzled expression.
"Please remember that this battle does not rely on our group to capture Nantianmen. Someone will do the final thing. The role of all West Bank troops is to continue to put pressure on the Japanese army and withstand their counterattack."
Chen Jize's eyes slowly glanced around. Standing here were officers from all levels of the Sichuan Army Corps and Yu Division's Crossing the River Force. He had to let everyone clearly understand his position and mission.
"The next battle will not be easy. We are very likely to face a crazy counterattack by the Japanese army. Colleagues of Yu Division, although Chen has only met you once, but today I can work together with you to fight against the Japanese invaders. You and I will There is brotherhood, and if we don’t dislike it, we will treat each other as brothers!”
"You only need to die for the country on the battlefield, why return your body wrapped in horse leather! If Chen is not dead in this battle... I must have a drink with my brothers!"
"Don't you brats claim to be the best army in Asia? Let's show them today what it means to be a Chinese soldier! How can you live without clothes and wear the same robe as your son!"
Everyone was moved by his impassioned words. Even He Shuguang and others who had just held prejudices were impressed by Chen Jize's courage.
"good!"
"Okay, today's battle is up to you!"
"Kill them!"
…
Everyone's emotions were aroused by him. The third battalion plus the Yu division's troops totaled nearly 4,000 people. This was the first time that Chen Jize commanded such a large number of troops. His body was trembling slightly, not from fear, but from uncontrollable excitement.
…
At 11:48, the Japanese attack on the reverse slope of the tree fort continued.
Unlike the front, the reverse slope is on a relatively steep slope. To be honest, such terrain is not conducive to attack. But again, there are more rock bunkers here, where the Japanese army can shoot at Long Wenwen and the others.
Moreover, the commander of the Fifth Battalion grasped the rhythm of the attack very well. He never made a pig-like charge and used rocks and trees to cover the ground to advance steadily.
As a last resort, Long Wenwen could only let the soldiers get out of the tree fort and block the Japanese troops from approaching in the sandbag fortifications outside.
The battle was extremely stalemate, and the Japanese once rushed to a distance of less than 30 meters from the tree fort. Fortunately, Long Wenwen and the others relied on intensive firepower and countless shooting holes on the tree fort to repel the enemy's first attack.
Such combat ammunition consumption is very huge. The bullets of the beautiful weapons have long been exhausted, and the commandos have to replace all the equipment stored at the bottom of the tree fort by the Japanese army.
Fortunately, Takeuchi has stored a large number of weapons here in order to operate the tree fort. There are a lot of 92 heavy machine guns and Taisho 14-types, and there are enough bullets. But even so, the casualties of the commandos began to gradually increase.
"Don't worry about the dead ones yet. Drag the alive ones into the tree. The next wave of attacks from the little devils is coming!"
Seeing that the Japanese troops in front had once again organized a skirmisher line, Long Wenwen hurriedly shouted loudly.
At this moment, the roar of an engine suddenly came from the sky. Under the clouds, a huge bomber and four escort wingmen flew slowly from a distance.
The B17 Sky Fortress loaded with two tons of explosives is finally here!
